📸✨ Throwback Thursday! ✨📸
It’s our last Throwback Thursday of 2025! This week, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our littlest learners at Jefferson Elementary.
These candid classroom moments come straight from the 2013–2014 yearbook, capturing the everyday learning that made that year so special. And if you look closely at one photo, you might spot a friendly neighborhood superhero popping up in three different places, proof that Spider-Man was clearly keeping an eye on the classroom that day!

We absolutely love seeing our student-athletes giving back. Members of the Washington Middle School Boys' Basketball team made a special visit to our first-grade students at Jefferson Elementary School.
Our middle schoolers went into each first-grade classroom to read Christmas-themed books, spreading holiday cheer and serving as great role models. 🎄🏀📚
